I think what I listen to now is what I listened to as a kid which is kind of black American soul. I love soul music.

At the moment we're playing more stuff from our upcoming album which is really a departure from any record we've done.

When I was young I was one of those kids that got pulled onstage at a Green Day concert. That was pretty awesome.

There's a lot of particularly good things going on in my life at the moment. It's the fact that I get to be an ambassador for the concept of modernity. I can be creative and useful. And I don't have to grow up.

There's no coherent stylistic genre specific advice that I could provide.

I think one of the dangers of humor is becoming seduced by it and sacrificing the story for a few laughs.

One of my favorite quotes ever was from Slash from Guns and Roses and he said 'to be truly iconic, you need to be able to recognized in a silhouette'
